What Is Reiki?

Reiki is Japanese in it's origin and literally translates to "Universal Life Energy". It is not a religion and is very compatible with any faith that a practitioner and/or client may belong to. Reiki flows through all living things and we all have the ability to connect with our own healing energy. By maintaining a healthy mental, physical, and spiritual life, we strengthen our Ki (energy) and help it to flow freely through us. When this flow becomes blocked (via stress, trauma, injury) our energy weakens or may get stuck. This can result in an array of physical and emotional imbalances that a Reiki session can help release.

By receiving Reiki one can ease tension and decrease stress. This helps support the body in its own healing and can help resolve other issues and imbalances. 

One beautiful thing about Reiki is that it is not focused on directing energy as much as it is about letting this energy flow naturally through the practitioner and through the client. Though you may not know what is best for you, your body and Reiki does. Relax, trust, and let go of desired outcomes.
